THE PASSING OF THE DUEL. Prince Alfonso de Bourbon has long been known as one of the leaders of the campaign against duel ling in Europe, a movement which has gained the active or passive support of a large number of distinguished men in all civilised countries. In the columns of an English review Prince Alfonso gives a brief survey of the steps which promise to make the opening years of the twentieth century notable for the extinction of what so many regard as a barbaric survival. The Prince wrote to his uncle, Prince Charles of Lowenstein, on November 20th, 1900, asking him to try to form in Germany a league against duelling. Prince Charles, by the beginning of January, 1901, had formed a small provisional committee, and began to enrol members. In October, 1901, Prince Charles assembled at Leipzig the first Anti-Duelling Congress, at which it was decided to create Courts of Honour. The German National Anti-Duelling League was establish ed, and its central committee formed on June 11th, 1902. In the early part of 1907 Prince Charles induced 200 professors of the different universities to join the league. When he retired into a Dominican monastery in Holland last summer the league numbered thirty committees, all perfectly organised, and more than 3,000 inscribed members of all religious and politi cal opinions. Among the German students, societies bearing the name of “Freie Studentenschaft” have been formed, which tend to diminish duelling. Already, according to Prince Alfonso, duels in Germany have become infinitely more rare, especially in the army. In Austria, we are informed, the movement began 1 in May, 190i, within appeal signed by ten persons of great distinction. A few months later the signatories increased to 1,500, and among them were sixteen princes and 364 members of the nobility. The Austrian National Anti-Duelling League was definitely established in 1902. An Anti- Duelling Association for students at the Vienna University was organised in 1905, and now num bers 250 members. It is noteworthy that 6,300 ladies have joined the Austrian League. The diminution of duels in Austria since the commence ment of the movement is described as truly re markable, and a feature of the matter is the great support given to the League by the Austrian Press, which is entirely unanimous in its approval. Hungary is said to be a country where the duelling habit flourishes to a greater extent than anywhere else in Europe, and it is therefore of especial significance that the National Anti-Duelling League founded at Buda Pesth in 1903 is yearly gaining in influence. As a result, duels are dimi nishing in social circles, and committees have been able to prevent several mortal combats during the last five years. An officer in Buda Pesth wrote a play against duelling in 1907. Galicia, which after Hungary, is said to be the most duel-ridden country in Europe, has so far yielded to the anti duelling movement that in the space of three years duels have almost entirely disappeared. The Court of Honour which takes the place of the “idiotic method” of duelling is no mere farce, we are as sured. A gentleman who had slandered a lady was given the alternative of exile in America during three years or absolute boycott by his friends. He chose exile, and duly left the country for his penitential term. These Courts of Honour open up the prospect of a new form of social pressure which might prove a most valuable adjunct to the more formal Courts of Justice. The Galician branch of the League has been joined by 1,650 ladies, and it is said that their influence has largely contributed to the extermina tion of duelling. In Italy the Marquis Filippo Crispolti organised an Anti-Duelling League in 1902. All the doctors in Palermo, Messina, and Siena have pledged themselves not to assist in any duel. King Victor Emmanuel II. accepted the patronage of the Italian Anti-Duelling League in December, 1907. In France Prince Alfonso de Bourbon approached M. Joseph du Bourg, at Toulouse, in November, 1900, who formed in the following March a provisional committee with many prominent men and ex-mili tary officers. In 1903 the first Court of Honour was created at Paris, composed of very distinguished military personages. Thanks to the creation of Juries of Honour in the Belgian Army in 1889, duels have long since disappeared in that body. In “ PELZ - MODE -WAREN ” STORE. Dresden, Prager Strasse 52.

Spain the League was started in 1904 by Baron de Albi, and on October 23rd, 1906, King Alfonso accepted the honorary Presidency of the Spanish 'National Anil-Duelling League. Eloquent testimony to the good work of the Spanish organisation is afforded by the fact that in 1907 there were only four or five duels in the whole of Spain. 2) GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. THE EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION. (From our own correspondent.) London, September 15. A good deal of caustic comment continues to ap pear in the Press with reference to Mr. Asquith’s intervention in the matter of the Eucharistic pro cession. Below are some of the most recent re marks : — “We cannot extent our congratulations to the Government. They have blundered conspicuously; and, if order has been preserved, this is not ascribable to them. Not often, if ever, has there been a correspondence such as that published to day to which an English Prime Minister has been a party, and in which he has been seen to such disadvantage.”—Times. “And when once the protest was made there could be no question as to the illegality of the pro ceeding, nor any question as to the desirability of preventing such a scandal as would have been caused by sectarian strife in the streets of London. So we think that Mr. Asquith is to be congratu lated upon averting such a catastrophe, and that Archbishop Bourne has acted wisely in rendering prompt obedience to the Premier’s request.— Daily Mail. “We regret, then, that any action whatever was taken by the Government. Is our Protestantism so feeble that it needs to be artificially encouraged by a Government interdict on a religious proces sion ? It is not Roman Catholicism, but Liberalism, that has the right to complain of this interdict.” Chronicle. “Only those who rejoice in the prolongation of religious strife can possibly find pleasure in the action of the Government, and that is why it will be unhesitatingly condemned by all who care for the peace of the realm and the peace of the Church.”—Telegraph. LORD CURZON IN AUTO ACCIDENT. (From our own correspondent.) London, September 15. Lord Curzon of Kedleston met with a serious accident while travelling in his motor car from London to Basingstoke on Sunday evening. His Lordship’s car, which was closed, was near ing Sunningdale Station a little before eight o’clock, when there was a collision with a large open motor car proceeding in an opposite direction. Lord Curzon was badly cut about the head. He was taken by some passers-by to a local chemist’s, where he was seen by a doctor, who stitched the principal wound. Later in the evening Lord Curzon was conveyed by train to Basingstoke, thence to Hack- wood Park. The two cars blocked the road for a considerable time. Lord Curzon is making satis factory progress today. The driver of the car was not hurt. It is stated by the occupants of Lord Curzon’s car that the other motor car swerved from its course and crashed with terrific force into his lordship’s car. ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS. Cardiff, September 15. In opening the autumn meeting of the Chambers of Commerce Union, which took place here today, the President, Lord Brassey, said, in speaking of the relations between England and Germany: “We must regret that the building of warships is being carried on with feverish energy in a country with which we wish to live in peaceful relations. We must hope that statesmen on both sides may arrive at an agreement which will render desired financial relief possible.” Lord Brassey then alluded in grateful terms to the recent peaceable utterances of the German Emperor. THE SETTLEMENT OF LABOUR DISPUTES. London, September 15. The Local Government Board notifies the forth coming the establishment of a standing Court of Arbitration for the settlement of labour disputes. The composition of the Courts will be different in every case; the Chairman of each will be selected from a list of impartial men high in public repute and willing to undertake the duty. One or two arbitrators will be nominated in equal number by the employers and the employed. If required, the Board of Trade will appoint a technical assessor to assist the Court but without a vote. NEWS FROM AMERICA. BURGLARY AT THE BRITISH EMBASSY. Washington, September 15. The room of the housekeeper of the British Embassy here was entered on Saturday evening by burglars, who got away with some money and jewellery. Two mechanics who were working in the build ing have been arrested, but they protest their in nocence. ARBITRATION TREATY WITH CHINA. Washington, September 15. The Chinese Ambassador has received instructions from his Government to sign the proposed arbitra tion treaty with the United States. The treaty is similar to those which the United States have already concluded with other Powers. LINERS IN COLLISION. New York, September 15. A message from Quebec says a serious collision has occurred off Orleans Island between the liner “Malin Head” and the Glasgow liner “Corinthian.” The “Malin Head,” inward bound, was struck amid ships by the “Corinthian,” and had to be beached to prevent her sinking. The “Corinthian,” bound from Montreal to Havre, returned to Quebec with bows stove in. AMERICA’S ATTITUDE TOWARDS MOROCCO. Washington, September 16. America observes an expectant attitude with re gard to the Morocco question. A general exchange of Notes between the signatory Powers is deemed necessary, for the purpose of arriving at a prompt understanding respecting their views of the Franco- Spanish proposals. American interest in Morocco is purely passive and philanthropic, and the United States Government will not impede the solution of the problem with any obstructive tactics. (Continued on page 2.)
